Executive Summary
The Ministry of Food and Disaster Management (MoFDM) is implementing a programme called the
Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) with support from the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP), UK Department for International Development - Bangladesh
(DFID-B) and the European Commission (EC). CDMP has been designed to strengthen the
Bangladesh disaster management system and, more specifically, to achieve a paradigm shift from
reactive response to a proactive risk reduction culture.
CDMP has adopted a holistic approach, embracing processes of hazard identification and mitigation,
community preparedness and integrated response efforts, where relief and recovery activities are
planned within an all-risk management framework. CDMP aims to raise the capacities of
communities at-risk and to lower their vulnerability to specific hazards through executing different
programmes under a well-defined framework.
Under the CDMP framework, there are several components, Component 4a-Earthquake and Tsunami
Preparedness being an important one. Different activities (sub projects) have also been initiated under
component 4a, one of which is the Geological data inventory and cataloging of geological data
project. The major activities carried out under this project are (i) data collection and organization of
collected data (ii) conversion of soft and hardcopy data into a standard GIS format, and (iii) capturing,
processing of data and database development, (iv) data quality checking, (v) development of a
geological data catalog, (vi) development of a geological data catalog software, (vii) deployment of
the data catalog software to CDMP, and (viii) documentation.
This report describes the activities of development of final geological data catalog considering
earthquake data for the sub-package II.2 entitled Geological Data Inventory.
The developed geological data catalog could be incorporated into DMIC of CDMP for efficient
disaster management planning activities. The different types of geological and relevant data presented
in the catalog/atlas could be used by planners and decision makers for disaster risk reduction and
management. The web-enabled GIS-based geological data catalog software developed under this
project would also be very helpful for geologists, disaster managers and planners in disaster
management and risk reduction planning activities. The data collected under other projects of CDMP
could be uploaded into the developed software to enhance the geological and geo-hazard related
database of CDMP for national benefit.
Other relevant organizations especially GSB, University of Dhaka, BUET, Rajshahi University, RDA,
KDA, KCC, DCC, and RAJUK could contribute a lot in the developed geological data catalog
through providing data or metadata to CDMP for geo-hazard assessment for the benefit of Bangladesh
Furthermore, the GIS-based data layers that have been prepared could be used by different
organizations for emergency disaster planning activities during disaster related emergencies.

Development of data catalog considering earthquake data
2.1
Introduction
A geological data catalog is a kind of central data repository that contains well-organized thematic
information. Such a repository or catalog of geological data, therefore, carries substantial benefits for
planners, decision makers, disaster managers and the broader research community. The geological
data catalog will also foster collaborative research and encourage the use and analysis of data for
different types of geo-hazard assessments, disaster management and planning activities. CDMP has
the mission to facilitate dissemination and sharing of geological and geo-hazard related information
among government and non-governmental organizations for disaster risk reduction and management
for the greater benefit of the country. This GIS based geological catalog has been developed using
data collected from different relevant organizations. The catalog containing both hard and softcopy
geological data has been prepared for better understanding of geological data and maps for disaster
management and planning activities. Furthermore, a web-enabled and GIS-based geological data
catalog software has been developed which will be useful for geologists, geo-scientist, natural
resources planners and decision makers for efficiently and effectively implementing their disaster risk
reduction and management activities.
2.2
Methodology
A systematic process and approaches have been followed to develop the geological data catalog. The
major activities carried out under this project were (i) data collection and organization of collected
data (ii) conversion of soft and hardcopy data into a standard GIS format, and (iii) capturing,

2.2.1
Data collection and organization of collected data
Geological and relevant data were collected from different organizations through questionnaire
surveys. It is to be mentioned that two questionnaire surveys were carried out, one under the project
Assess state of information systems and facilitate geo-hazard information sharing among the GoB
and NGO GIS platforms for GIS data compatibility assessment and the other under the project
Inventory and cataloging of geological data for assessing the availability of geological and geohazard related data. The data collected from different organizations (e.g. GSB, DU, RU, BUET,
4
LGED, BWDB, WARPO and others) were systematically organized and categorized into different
groups. The major data groups were Borehole, Earthquake, Geology, Hazard, Landuse, Morphology,
Soil, etc. The sample list of data layers with their respective groups is presented in Table 2.2.1. Detail
list of geological data layers those have been used in geological data preparation are presented in
Appendix A.

2.2.2
Conversion of hard and softcopy data into standard GIS format
Conversion of geological data into standard GIS format was one of the major and important activities
of the project. It is to be mentioned that both the hard and softcopy data were collected under this
project for developing the geological data catalog. The hardcopy data were scanned to convert them
into digital format. The scanned data were then geo-referenced using the standard procedure of
ArcGIS.
Both the geo-referenced scanned maps and collected digital data were converted into standard GIS
format and kept in the BTM projection system as major organizations are using that system.
Moreover, those data were also converted into the BUTM projection system, as BUTM with WGS84
datum has been recommended as the standard and common projection system for Bangladesh under
the project Assess the state of information systems and facilitate geo-hazard information sharing
among GoB and NGO GIS platforms. It can be mentioned that all GIS software (especially ArcGIS)
has the option to transform different data layers from one projection system to another. The
conversion of hard and softcopy data into standard GIS format has been described in detail in the
report Conversion of geological data into standard formats that has been submitted to CDMP.
2.2.3
Capturing, processing and database development
After digital conversion and projection of geological data, data capturing activities were carried out to
prepare GIS data layers on geological data. The data were captured through the on-screen digitization
process in the ArcGIS platform. After capturing and digitization, the necessary correction and editing
were performed. The necessary attributes (district, upazila or union name etc.) were then incorporated
into the softcopy of GIS data by using the spatial join process of the ArcGIS system. The BBS
geocode database was considered as the standard for the attribute data. Finally, a well-organized and
GIS-based geological database was developed for CDMP. The report Conversion of geological data
into standard formats that has been submitted to CDMP contains the details about the capturing,
processing of data and database development.
2.2.4
Quality checking of data
For the production of quality GIS data it is essential to maintain a quality control process during data
capturing and data preparation. Therefore, quality control was executed at every step of GIS data
based geological preparation. The quality control of data was done in different ways such as, (i)
through manual validation by visual checking, (ii) using DGPS corrected satellite images, (iii) using
NWRD databases, (iv) using mouza database of CEGIS etc. and (v) through GPS survey.
Manual data verification: This is one of the more accurate and comparatively authentic procedures
for data quality checking, which verifies accuracy and completeness of a spatial database. The manual
data verification procedures followed under this project included (i) checking the quality of hardcopy
maps, (ii) visual checking of data in the computer through zooming at different scales, (iii) creating
check plots, and (iv) field checks and measurements. To minimize operator errors, GIS Analysts, GIS
Specialists and other senior project professionals were also involved in checking the quality of GIS
data during data capturing activities.
Using DGPS corrected satellite images: CEGIS has DGPS corrected 6-meter resolution IRS images
for the whole of Bangladesh from 2000 and onward. These images were used for quality checking of
some data layers. Furthermore, CEGIS has also 1-meter resolution IKONOS and 0.65 meter
QuickBird images for some specific areas. These high-resolution images were also used for quality
checking of some data layers (Figure 2.2.2). Furthermore, geo-referenced scanned maps were also
compared with those available DGPS corrected images to obtain accurate data.
Figure 2.2.2: Sample of quality checking

Using the NWRD database: CEGIS has developed a National Water Resources Database (NWRD)
for the Water Resources Planning Organization (WARPO). The database consists of more than 400
data layers. It includes data on administrative boundary, river and waterbodies, roads, environmental
and natural disaster data, groundwater and surface water data, lithological data layers etc. Some of
these data were updated using DGPS corrected IRS images. Data on administrative boundaries, rivers
and lithological data were used to check the quality and completeness of the developed geological
data under this project. Furthermore, non-spatial attribute data were also checked using the BBS
geocode database, which is stored in NWRD.
GPS survey: A Global Positioning System (GPS) is also used in the field to determine exact
locations. A GPS is a highly accurate technology that uses earth-orbiting satellites to determine
geographic locations. GPS is used to check the positional accuracy of different spatial data such as
borelog location, well location, infrastructure location etc. Under this project borelog and lithological
data were collected from different organizations. However, it is very difficult to check the quality
(including positional accuracy) of these borelog data due to the lack of quality documentation.
Therefore, a sample GPS survey was conducted to check the positional accuracy of some of the
borelog data provided by private housing companies.
2.2.5
Development of interim geological data catalog
For efficient disaster management, especially geo-hazard assessment, a well-organized geological data
catalog is essential. After developing the GIS based geological database a well-organized interim
geological data catalog /atlas was prepared using this database. A brief description of the each of the
datasets on lineages, purposes, sources of data, projection system and tabular information etc, are
presented in the catalog. The different thematic and informative maps are presented in the draft
catalog/atlas that has been delivered to CDMP for their comments. The catalog contains maps on
surface and subsurface geology, engineering geology, faults, generalized tectonic, Bouguer anomaly,
earthquake risk zones, cyclone risk, possible land subsistence, possible foundation failure hazard,
subsoil investigations (borehole with lithology), earthquake induced liquefaction hazard, urban
development plan (including structural plan) and city drainage etc. Furthermore, the catalog also
contains a list of geological and geo-hazard related reports, journals, thesis and articles.

2.2.6
Development of final geological data catalo considering earthquake data
After getting the feedback the final geological data catalog has been developed in consultation with
CDMP. It is to be mentioned that the final catalog has been developed taking into consideration of the
earthquake related data developed for CDMP. The catalog contains the maps is almost same as the
interim catalog but emphasis has been given on earthquake related data. Some sample maps of catalog
have been presented in Figure 2.2.3 to Figure 2.2.5. The different thematic and informative maps, list
of earthquake related journal, report, thesis and articles are presented in the Atlas/hardcopy catalog
(Annex-A).

2.2.7
Development of Geological Data Catalog Software
For effective geo-hazard and disaster management planning activities in Bangladesh and to facilitate
dissemination and exchange of proper information among planners, disaster managers and decision
makers, a GIS-based web-enabled geological catalog system has been developed under this project.
The web-based system has been developed with the aim that all relevant users (GOs and NGOs) could
have access to the system through the Internet or intranet based on their access authorization. The
system has been developed using open source software development tools to reduce the cost and
licensing obligations. The user interfaces, input/output formats have been designed and developed in
consultation with CDMP. The higher-level steps to develop the system included: System design,
Database design, Interface design and System development.
The software framework development task included conceptualization of software framework and
identification of software elements and users. The identified major elements of the software were (i)
data explorer, (ii) knowledge base, (iii) map browser, (iv) scanned documents, (v) digital catalog, (vi)
other links and (vii) search options etc. It has been identified that the major users of this software
would be: ministries, DMB, CDMP, Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB), universities, NGOs and
other relevant organizations. The major tasks accomplished for the software development are (i)
review of existing available catalog framework, (ii) software framework development, (iii) software
development and deployment of draft version of the catalog software to CDMP for feedback and (iv)
development of final version of the software. A detailed description of the software development is
given in Chapter 3. A brief description of the different interfaces of the developed software is given
below:
Review of existing catalog framework
The different geological data catalogs available in international organizations such as USGS, British
Geological Survey (BGS), and European Organization etc. have been reviewed to develop the
geological data catalog for Bangladesh. The interfaces of those geological data catalogs are presented

Scanned documents
A substantial amount of hardcopy data was collected from different sources such as the Geological
Survey of Bangladesh (GSB), Geology Department, University of Dhaka, Department of Geology and
Mining, Rajshahi University, Khulna Development Authority (KDA), Chittagong Development
Authority (CDA), Rajshahi Development Authority (RDA), Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA),
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and Khulna City Corporation (KCC)
etc. The hardcopy data includes (i) hardcopy maps, (ii) maps in reports, and (iii) maps in published
articles and journals etc. These hardcopy data were scanned for further digital conversion to develop
the geological data catalog. Further, CEGIS has few scanned coastal area maps. These scanned maps
have been incorporated under this interface for further use and for assessing the quality of source
maps and data. The scanned documents interface of the geological data catalog software is presented
in Figure 3.5.1.

Digital catalog
It has earlier been mentioned that a well-organized digital atlas/catalog has been developed for CDMP
comprises with different thematic maps. Those maps were converted into JPEG format and uploaded
into the data catalog software for further usages. The digital catalog interface of the geological data
catalog software is presented in Figure 3.6.1.

Metadata
There are two options under metadata modules are (i) metadata entry and (ii) metadata browser. The
metadata entry option will allow the user to entry description of a newly entered data set and will
allow editing the data description of the existing data set. Only Database Administrator will be able to
enter and modify the metadata. The metadata browser will allow all users to see metadata information
of existing data sets. The metadata browser interface of the geological data catalog software is
presented in Figure 3.7.1.

Other links
Different important information such as metadata, geological/geo-hazard related research outputs and
geo-hazard assessment tools/software are available in different websites. Addresses of those websites
are incorporated under the other links tab. Further websites of GSB, different universities, research
and geo-hazard mapping related organization has also linked herewith. The other link interface of the
geological data catalog software is presented in Figure 3.8.1.

Conclusion and Recommendation
A geological data catalog has been developed following sequential steps such as (i) data collection
and organization of collected data (ii) conversion of soft and hardcopy data into a standard GIS
format, and (iii) capturing, processing of data and database development, (iv) data quality checking,
(v) development of a geological data catalog, (vi) development of a geological data catalog software,
(vii) deployment of the data catalog software to CDMP, and (viii) documentation.
It is to be mentioned that the geological data catalog has been developed in hardcopy as well as digital
format using collected data from heterogeneous sources. Based on the experience of developing the
geological data catalog, the following conclusions and recommendations can be made.
Conclusion
The geological data catalog, prepared both in hardcopy and digital format, is comprehensive
and well organized and can be used by planners and decision makers for planning purposes.
The geological data catalog has been prepared using data and information collected from
major sources such as GSB, Department of Geology, University of Dhaka, Department of
Geology and Mining, University of Rajshahi, BWDB, BUET, CDA, KDA, RDA etc.
The quality of some hardcopy geological maps/data that were collected from different sources
was very poor. The conditions of some of those maps were comparatively poor, so attempts
were made to improve them using GIS, RS data and technologies available at CEGIS.
Therefore, the quality of the developed catalog for some data sets could not be improved
much.
Many geological and related hardcopy maps and a substantial amount of data were available
in published reports and journals. The conditions of some of those maps were comparatively
poor, so attempts were made to improve them using GIS, RS data and technologies available
at CEGIS.
Some important information such as on scale, projection systems, projection parameters, and
date of data production or update were not mentioned in many hardcopy maps. Furthermore,
there is no good documentation on the hardcopy data sets. Therefore, the geological data sets
could not be described clearly in the hardcopy geological data catalog.
There are some digital data sets collected from CEGIS, NWRD (WARPO), USGS website,
KDA, that are of comparatively good quality. Therefore, these data sets are clear enough in
the catalog and should be very useful to the users.
The web-enabled GIS-based geological data catalog software developed under this project
would be very helpful for geologists, disaster managers and planners in disaster management
and risk reduction planning activities.
Recommendations
The web-enabled GIS-based geological data catalog software developed under this project
could be updated through organizing a consultation workshop with CDMP and relevant
stakeholders.
25
Conclusion and Recommendation
Data collected under other projects of CDMP could be uploaded into the developed software
to enhance the geological and geo-hazard related database of CDMP for national benefit.
Other stakeholders especially GSB, University of Dhaka, BUET, Rajshahi University, RDA,
KDA, KCC, DCC, and RAJUK could contribute a lot in the developed geological data
catalog through providing their data or metadata to CDMP for geo-hazard assessment for the
benefit of Bangladesh.
